ACT I. "The Lilacs." Boonesboro . "Green-walled by the hills of Maryland." Scene : Old Colonial homestead with veranda facing road, R. The veranda is four or five feet from ground, and rests on corbels. Vines droop over lower corner. Flagstaff slants from upper corner. French window opens on veranda. Steps, facing audience, lead to door of house which opens into hall. A fanlight is over door. Large brass knocker on door. The view from veranda commands the old country road, which leads to off R.2.E. Gate with latch to orchard, R.1.E. A brook runs from R., nearly to C. and disappears among meadows at back. Water lilies grow in it and the bank is covered with grasses. An old moss-covered, low-pitched rustic bridge crosses stream, overhanging boughs bend over bridge. Nearly L.C. is a path leading to a military camp, tents are seen near-by and in the distance. Adjoining house is a hedge with gate opening into private grounds. By upper corner of veranda is a lilac bush in full bloom, high enough for a person to stand under. Some of the blossoms have fallen to the ground. An old stump, about the height of an ordinary table, covered with vines, is by lower corner of house. Shrubs and flowers grow under the veranda. Ancient lilac bushes in full bloom hug the sides of house, thereby giving name of "The Lilacs" to the place. The scene is "walled in by the green hills of Maryland." Effect of lowland lights comes from valley at back and sunlight bathes all in a tender glow. The odor of lilacs fills the air. A soft melody is played at rise of curtain. End of prelude . Discovered : Uncle Dan'l, a lovable old darky with shining bald pate, and snow-white wool. His skin a dark brown. Dressed in a rusty old-fashioned suit of black, frilled shirt and high white stock, is asleep on front steps. His hat has fallen on the ground, and a large watermelon lies near him. When the music ceases the stillness is broken only by the heavy breathing of Uncle Dan'l; he draws a long breath, sighs and snores, ending with a little soft whistling sound. Lieutenant Robert Telfair, a tall young fellow, with all the elegance of a Southern gentleman, and an ultra-military bearing, dressed in the uniform of Confederate artillery (a sort of "Jeb Stuart"), enters down road at back, L. Tel. By bridge, unslings field glasses, looks off, R.

A passage separates the hall from a room built out, with a solid door in the rounded corner, over which is a fanlight.

A flagstaff is lashed C. of veranda, with the Confederate flag hoisted and partly seen; the halyards are hitched to a column. Large guns are mounted on each side, pointing to the Federal camp, off R., a full view of which is seen through the open windows, with guns, earth works, and the Stars and Stripes floating to the breeze, about half a mile distant, across a stream. Beyond are seen the "Green Hills of Maryland." Time : Early morning, the day after. The act begins in bright sunlight. After a few bars of music, the curtain rises .

ACT III.

[Scene 1] The Old Church Scene : Outside the church. A very old church occupies nearly one third of stage, L., the front facing R. Over entrance door, a pointed arch resting on corbels. A wicket is in the door. It slides open from the inside. The stained glass windows are shattered and have temporary iron bars outside. Glass in tower window facing audience is broken to pieces and also barred. Small door in L. side of church facing audience. The church tower reaches above the borders so as to give apparent height. A country road leads to the gate, R.U.E.; the gates are unhinged and lie R. and L. of gateposts. The gateposts are very high and broken. A breastwork of logs, débris, etc., as if thrown up in a great hurry, is R.; encircles church. Portion of the sides are blown out. Stuck conspicuously in the débris is a pole on which a flag of truce is flying. A cannon is planted, R., pointed off, R., through an opening in breastwork. A gate leading to churchyard. Another cannon, R.2.E., is disabled. An old ambulance marked C.S.A. is standing at back, L., outside fence. Scene shows effect of a recent battle near-by, the haze of which still hangs in the air. Afar off, R.U.E., is seen the faint glow of a conflagration. In the distance at back, the ruins of a partly burned village . Time : Towards evening of the next day. It is late in the afternoon and the last rays of the sun fall on the corner of the church. Before the curtain goes up, a descriptive battle piece is played, with far-away sound of booming cannon. The curtain rises to "The Bugles sans truce, for the night clouds had lowered," heard faintly in orchestra. When curtain is up, fife and drum heard, off R.H., sounding "Lights Out." Discovered : A Sentry, crossing L. to R., his clothes very dusty, is seen pacing slowly outside the fence at back. Thorpe, his face more colorless than usual, wearing an army overcoat, his back against the church door, shading his eyes with his hand and looking off, R.U.E. He has been drinking heavily and his manner is morose but anxious. As last notes of bugle die away, Sentry disappears and the sound of hurried footsteps is heard. Bludsoe, his uniform torn and battle-stained, his eyes almost blinded with smoke, enters gropingly, by upper road, from R., panting. Thorpe shows eagerness at sight of Bludsoe . Blud.

2: Scene After a moment the curtain rises, showing Colonel Thorpe's headquarters in the vestibule. The pale moon shines through the large window, R., partly lighting the vestibule, the rest of which is in shadow. Outside is a view of the corner of a high stone wall, with a pathway running down to window, R. At back, a door, reached by several steps, opens on a staircase supposed to lead to upper room in tower, L., at back. A conspicuous opening, L.2.E., through which is seen steps leading high up to belfry. The walls inside this opening are old and grim, and made effective by the arrangement of lights as though from above. A door, L.1.E., opens from a dark passage. A table is near R.C. An old knapsack is lying below it, used for papers, etc. A common ink bottle and pen on table. A high-backed chair is in front of R. corner of table. A camp stool behind L. corner of table.
